Description

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, licenses and other items or services necessary to perform the management and operation of commercial travel offices at specific AETC installations. The contractor shall provide official travel services, to include air transportation, rental car reservations, and hotel reservations. The same or different contractor shall provide full-service leisure travel services, to include custom tailored tours and vacations. The locations for official travel services include Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA _ Reunion Plaza, San Antonio, Texas), Altus Air Force Base, Brooks Air Force Base, Columbus Air Force Base, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Keesler Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base (including Kelly Annex and Wilford Hall Medical Center), Laughlin Air Force Base, Little Rock Air Force Base, Maxwell Air Force Base (including Gunter Annex), Randolph Air Force Base, Sheppard Air Force Base and Vance Air Force Base. The locations for leisure travel services include Altus Air Force Base, Brooks Air Force Base, Columbus Air Force Base, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Keesler Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base (including Kelly Annex and Wilford Hall Medical Center), Laughlin Air Force Base, Little Rock Air Force Base, Maxwell Air Force Base (including Gunter Annex), Randolph Air Force Base, Sheppard Air Force Base and Vance Air Force Base. Each installation may include satellite and limited satellite locations managed from a primary location. The contractor shall manage and operate the commercial travel offices in the facilities provided by the Government. The Government intends to issue a single solicitation and award two separate contracts, one for official travel services and one for leisure travel services. The intent of the Government is to award a four-year contract (one-year base period, one-year option period, and four 6-month option periods). Each installation will be a separate sub-CLIN to allow flexibility for the implementation of the Defense Travel System (DTS) and an Air Force wide leisure travel program. For more information regarding DTS, please consult the following website: http://www.dtic.mil/travelink/. Offerors shall propose on all locations for either official travel services only, leisure travel services only or both. Additionally, offerors shall not propose to split performance between leisure and official unless the offeror intends to be awarded a contract for all of the leisure travel requirements and a separate contract for all official travel requirements. This acquisition will be a 100% small business set-aside. All responsible, small businesses may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the Air Force. The SIC code is 4724, size standard $1M, NAICS 561599. Offerors will be evaluated using a Past Performance Price Trade-off. The Government intends on posting a solicitation on or about 26 Sept 00. The solicitation will be posted on EPS and/or CBD electronically. Please do not respond to this Pre-Solicitation Notice.
